DEAD FROG (Not for Kids)

Note: I uploaded the English version to Ravelry.
The German version is available through Etsy and DaWanda. :-)

✿ ✿ ✿
For the frog fan in your life who already has everything (including a sense of humor). :)

It also makes a great decoration for halloween.

This little Frog is quite dead.
Put him ontop of a nice puddle of blood and it becomes obvious.
Make it even more spectacular by removing one or both eyeballs from their sockets and have them dangling around on the optical nerves.
To top all that you can pull out the intestines, too! :D

This pattern includes instructions to make everything crocheted you see in the pictures (the Frog with its body-parts and intestines, and the puddle of blood).

Note: I do not recommend this figure for little kids. Mine surely haven’t seen this one yet. And it will take a couple of years until they do.

❤ Crochet skill level: easy.

❤ Size: 4.5 cm (from bottom to top of body)
The size depends on the gauge and yarn you’re using.
I’m using Puppets Lyric yarn from Coats and a 3 mm hook.

❤ The pattern contains lots of reference pictures and step-by-step-instructions.

❤ Crochet pattern in PDF format, available in two languages:

English: US crochet terms, English texts and descriptions
or

The figure is mostly crocheted in continuous rounds/spirals;
rounds are not joined;
use a stitch-marker to mark the beginning of each round;

❤ you should be familiar with:

  • crocheting in rounds/spirals

  • magic ring (recommended)
  • chain
  • single crochet
  • double crochet
  • slip stitch
  • increase and (invisible) decrease
  • surface crocheting (instructions included)
